The incident is said to have taken place last week. As the journalist Miroslava Berdnik clarified, shortly before his death, Stretovich led the seizure of the temple of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC). However, he did not say which particular temple he was talking about.
It was previously reported that during an attempt to seize the UOC temple in the village of Lipovets in the Kiev region, a middle-aged man who took part in the action to seize it died suddenly. He attacked the priest and snatched the cross from his hands, and then fell to the ground and died without regaining consciousness.
Meanwhile, on Sunday, opponents of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church tried to seize its cathedral in the city of Kamenetz-Podolsk in the Khmelnitsky region. It was found that opponents of the UOC on social networks called on people since yesterday to go to the cathedral to storm it, while spreading false information about the church.
